If you can recite your favorite songs from the 80s and 90s by heart, chances are you need to add retinol to your skincare routine. Sure, you’ve probably heard of it, but when you see how it can help restore your youthfulness, you’ll want to try it right away.
What Is Retinol?
Retinol is made from a potent form of vitamin A, one of the best antioxidants around, and you’ve probably seen it in everything from creams to serums. It’s not meant to replace your regimen but to add to it, something you should be doing nightly if you want your skin to stay youthful or restore it back to its former glory.
Retinoids are a Vitamin A derivative that support cellular turnover in the skin to improve a variety of skin conditions. Retinoids are commonly used as a chemical exfoliant to help remove dead skin cells that sit on top of the skin revealing fresher, brighter skin. Removing part of the skins natural barrier allows specialty products to absorb deeper into the skin, maximizing your aesthetic results.
Most people can benefit with adding retinol products to their skincare routine with the exception of those with rosacea or eczema.
Why You Should Use Retinol:
- Prevent and reduce wrinkles. Want a smoother appearance to your visage? We all do! This product helps with that by smoothing away fine lines and wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming.
- Brighten up your complexion. Dull skin tone makes you look years older. By using retinol, it provides exfoliation on a cellular level. This helps you reveal brighter, newer skin that’s smoother and more youthful.
- Eliminate acne. Some people have tried it all to rid their skin of acne or fade away old acne scars. But until they try it, they can’t believe it ever goes away. It does! Retinol helps regulate oil production and helps prevent pores from getting clogged up. This results in clearer, smoother skin.
- Fade dark spots away. Whether you have dark spots from aging, overexposure to the sun, or acne scars, retinol is one of the best and most effective ways to fade them all away. With continued use, you’ll love the face you see looking back at you in the mirror again.
